Large dynamic 56mm drivers produce high-fidelity audio with minimal resonance. Encased in precision engineered stainless steel and positioned at an angle, the transducers simulate a spatial and natural hearing experience. Matching the reference-grade audio performance of the HD800 is their striking and contemporary industrial design. The premium four-wire, high-performance symmetrical copper cable has been specially designed to match impedance for a natural hearing experience. High precision connectors feature Teflon insulation and a superior build to enhance durability.

Adopting the most advanced developments from the aerospace industry, the metal headband and mountings of the HD800 exhibit damping elements that eliminate vibrations for a smooth listening experience. Equipped with special hand-crafted earpads made of soft microfibre make the HD800 comfortable to wear, even for extended periods of time.
